Elm Street | 7C+/E7 Boulder problem at Millstone Edge


Highball. Also known as 10,000 Maniacs.

Originally soloed at E7 and given E8 in the 2005 guide. Now more commonly climbed above a big stack of pads.

Prior to Adrian Berry's ascent, the route had been claimed by Chris Parker as '10,000 Maniacs', but the claim was not considered credible – for unknown reasons. [1]
